As much as any Mage can be convinced they and their Obsessions are wrong, I'd say....

He'd need to pact with the biological mom to gain access to that component. The Father can Pact away their relationship to the Son, but not affect others' relationships to the Son - they have no claim over those.

Instead, it will have happened that the original mother had a fling with the Cover, probably "obviously" left unsaid all this time. Even if wildly varying genetics leaves the situation questionable. That's just a potential red-flag that could be investigated....

Providing rules for Relic creation is outside the scope of what they can cram into a single Dark Eras section.

But hopefully Relic Creation rules are in Mummy 2E or one of its Supplements. Because even if the Arisen can't, rules on how they otherwise would be made will be useful for designing new Relics.

Isn't there already a Stigmatic Mage, though?

It is intended as: a character takes Risen Pillars (Ab) 3. They can be treated as having Ab 3 for picking up Affinities, and how those Affinities are calculated. They do not have any Ab Pillar Points, though. They could take Risen Pillars Advanced (Ab) up to 3, gaining up to 3 actual Ab Pillar Points.



To use Utterances, they'd need a little more. That was summed up with talk about Sekhem Sorcerers. Maybe they use a Relic for virtual Sekhem, maybe they set up a ritual space and pick up the Entombed Glory Affinity to boost their virtual Sekhem, maybe they stick to Choir...

The God-Machine in general is great for "weird crap". But you don't need to limit yourself just to the Machine - feel free to populate the town with other dark secrets and mysteries. Tying into what Ghostdriver said, maybe there is some decaying Infrastructure that was used to seal something else. The Ring can uncover this, and decide whether to fortify the Infrastructure, destroy it, or suborn it.

It seems like it would be fairly easy to incorporate both power gain and the Descent in a manner similar to Vampires and Torpor. Gain power, then lose it during slumber (Power Stat, at least - other improvements remain, after all).

I recall someone did a homebrew of Monuments preserving Memory - perhaps you could recast that into instead preserving minimum Sekhem? A Mummy starts their "mission" topped up, but is decreases to their "sustained" minimum. To increase it, they either need a new task, consume Relics, or invest in building up their personal power.

I think I redid that as a set of Basic and Advanced merits that can be purchased for each Pillar, so you could get all at 5 eventually.

Hmm. This was under some debate and progress a while ago. Maybe something there is of use? http://forum.theonyxpath.com/forum/m...al-mummy-magic...
